Scooby Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Very nice! Well done! But those guys would be baking to death in the jungle in all those layers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrfan Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Very nice setting indeed but I'm not sure about the rockets leaning up in the air waiting to be loaded. Do you have photographic evidence of that as I believe they should be flat on the ground? Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were indeed stored flat, usually on the racks but I wanted to make them more visible and to create this more disorderly look of the scene. 16 hours ago, Scooby said: But those guys would be baking to death in the jungle in all those layers! True, but I couldn't find the crew figures in lighter clothes that would fit the scene. They're from the Airfix set more suited for UK based bombers. But hey, beggars can’t be choosers... 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I did wonder it that was your aim. I am also working on an SW Pacific island diorama just somewhat larger in scope and scale (1/48). Appropriately clothed people were equally difficult to find however I was lucky enough to find someone with 3D CAD skills to clone some scantly clad figures for me and then he doubled the numbers by printing them facing left and right 😀 fullsizeoutput_1c17 by tankienz, on Flickr fullsizeoutput_1b07 by tankienz, on Flickr The laying down coconut trees were knocked down while staging the photo 😒 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
